Contested Probate East Sussex

Issues relating to wills can be complex and negotiating problems relating to disagreements about Will, how an estate is being managed or there not being a will, can be complicated and stressful. We know that our clients need to feel supported by their legal counsel and need to feel guided through the whole process. Our team of committed Contentious Probate Solicitors will help keep the process as smooth as they can and will work around your unique circumstances. We are highly experienced in keeping contested probate out of court and have successfully achieved positive outcomes numerous times in these situations.

Wills can be contested for the following reasons:

• The person involved didn’t have sufficient mental capacity at the time
• The Will wasn’t correctly witnessed
• The Will was created without permission
• Sufficient provisions have not been given to the dependents of the Will
• The person creating the Will was unduly influenced
